Dogs, Cards Make All-League Team

WAITSBURG -- As Waitsburg-Prescott's foot­ball squad continues its sojourn toward the ulti­mate honor of a repeat state title, five Cardi­nals garnered individual honors this past week by being named to the Southeast 2B All-League Team.

Chance Leroue and Ben Shafer earned all- league offensive hon­ors- Leroue at tight end and Shafer on the offen­sive line. Danny Stansell and Roy Ebong were chosen all-league defend­ers- Stansell at lineback­er and Ebong at defensive back.

Leroue and Stansell were two of only three sophomores named to the all- league squad. Ebong and Shafer are seniors.

Curiously, Dalton Estes was not named all- league receiver, running back, defensive back, punter, or kicker. Instead the senior, who is the league's statis­tical leader at nearly every position he plays, was named the confer­ence's top all-purpose player.

Dayton also left its paw print on the all-league squad. Senior lineman Alex Naylor was the only Bulldog named to the offensive squad. The hard-hitting trio of Wy­att Frame, Kane Hack­ett, and Lowden Smith were named to the de­fensive team. Hackett, a senior, plays line, Smith, a junior, linebacker, and Frame, a senior, defen­sive back.

The rest of the of­fensive team included: DeSales' quarterback Jeremiah Cox, running back Luke Fazzari, re­ceivers Joe Duehn and Ryan Baumgart, and lineman Tim Caudille; Tekoa-Oakesdale-Rosa­lia's running back Craig Nelson, receiver Clay Shelton, and offensive lineman Josh Roe; Tri- Cities Prep running back Bailey Rivas; and Asotin offensive lineman Ian Hurst.

Others making all- league defense were: DeSales' defensive back Kyler Pommerening and lineman Cody Josifek; Tekoa-Oakesdale-Rosa­lia's defensive back Zane Brown, linebacker Tyler Hanson, and lineman Max Mueller; Tri-Cities Prep linebacker Briar Westerfield; and Aso­tin's defensive back Ryan Schaefer and defensive lineman Cody Koch.

Asotin's Dayton Krull earned all-league punter honors, and DeSales' Mike Speiss was named coach of the year.
